Top speakers at seminar

Two of New Zealand's leading business and motivational speakers are to address a seminar in Ohakune next week. Charles Donoghue and Sue Donald, partners in a financial services and training group of companies in Auckland, are visiting the Waimarino district as guests of the Bulletin. They will be speaking next Tuesday evening at a function organised by the Bulletin to farewell former owner John Sandford. To be held at the Ohakune Club from 6pm to 7.30pm, the social function is for business people and com-

munity leaders throughout the district. Anyone not already invited but who wishes to attend the 40-minute seminar starting at 6.40pm should phone Pam Greenwood at 58-532 for a special admission pass.

Mr Donoghue has been described as New Zealand's top saies trainer and by the Auckland Star as a motivator in the vein of Earl Nightingale and W. Clement Stone. He is a dynamic, humorous and exciting speaker who has written two books and produced a video series including a special goalsetting programme with the athlete Alison Roe. One of his books "Light Your Own Fire to Bigger Saies" is out of print and will be reprinted soon. His latest work "The Choice is Yours" covers goal-setting and personal improvement and has been lauded by educationists as an excellent text for young

people. Copies of his book will be available for sale at the Bulletin seminar. Mr Donoghue is a life member of the Million Dollar Round Table, past national president of the NZ Life Underwriters Association and former vicepresident of the NZ Estate and Taxation Planning Council. He is an associate fellow of the NZ Institute of Management. Mr Donoghue will be assisted with his presentation titled "Motivation to Financial Success" by his partner Sue Donald, who is well known in the Ruapehu region as a keen skier and secretary of the Tongariro Ski Club.

She has spoken at many business and asjociation meetings and shares the platform with Mr Donoghue at over 50 ' m o - tivational, financial and investment seminars throughout the country

each year. She is a registered life underwriter and is a member of the New Zealand Institute of Management, the Auckland Business Women's Club, the International Association of Financial Planners and a qualifying member of the prestigious Million Dollar Round Table. Having owned her own business for several years she is familiar with the financial problems of the business owner. Their Ohakune seminar is designed to help the selfemployed business owner and manager, though the self-improvement content applies to people in all walks of life.
